Hi, I know that the older Dos games don't work correctly under XP (like
Redneck Rampage, Duke Nukem 3D). I was wondering if anyone has setup a dual
boot with a version of Dos (I have 6.22) when XP is already installed? Or
are you aware of any other options to get the old games working? Thanks!

Hi Mike,

Since DOS fits on a floppy, you have your dual boot solution
literally in the palm of your hand. Use the Multiboot disk from:
http://members.ozemail.com.au/~lpcd/downloads.html and always
check at fileplanet.com to see if there's a patch available.

With DOSBOX you can emulate a DOS computer on your XP desktop:
http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/information.php

If you prefer to explore other advanced methods, here are two excellent
tutorials I've found on the subject: http://www.dosgames.com/xphints.php
and: http://home.earthlink.net/~angeldancer27/XpGameList.htm :-)
